To further muddy the waters, here is a post I received from tech support about a year and a half ago. I never could figure out how to get this to work. Please keep me posted and let me know if you figure out a way to connect with something aside from zmud.

They are similar to what I originally posted, just looking for a different file with a .sal extension. I've rewritten the instructions in places for conciseness and clarification. 1. Log in to your Simutronics account at the GS website and go to the "Go Play!" page. 2. Select the character with which you wish to play. Don't log in to the game yet. 3. Select either the Wizard or Stormfront as your client. 4. Click the "Go Play!" button. When you do this, your web browser should hopefully attempt to open a file ending in .sal. Save that file to your disk. 5. Open the saved .sal file in Notepad. The most important lines are the last three lines, starting with GAMEHOST, GAMEPORT, and KEY. 6. Now go into GMUD or your client of choice. Enter whatever comes after the '=' in the GAMEHOST line as the "Host" to which you want to connect. 7. Enter the GAMEPORT into your client's field. 8. Connect to the game. The client will connect and then appear to hang. What it's doing is waiting for your KEY and your front-end choice. We'll enter that in the next two steps. 9. Copy whatever comes after the '=' in the KEY line of the .sal file directly into the MUD client and hit enter. This will send your key to the Simu server; it will seem as if there is no response. 10. Now type into your MUD client the following (and then hit enter): /FE:JAVA That should connect you to the game.
